The latest figures reveal that 21 new cases of Covid-19 were found yesterday. Four people have recovered.

Of the new cases, only three were unknown community sources. The rest were from contacts of known cases.

The number of new cases this week have been rising and falling, but today's figures are the lowest number of new cases since Tuesday 26 January.

The peak of new daily cases so far was over last weekend, where 93 new cases were found over two days.

There are currently six patients with Covid-19 in hospital.

The news comes as the Civil Contingencies Authority meets today to discuss whether to vary the lockdown.

News will be announced at an online press conference at 1pm tomorrow.
